THE WEEKLY R.E.P.O.R.T.

We discuss everything our team is reading, eating, purchasing, obsessing, recommending and “to-doing”. 

READING

Learn about the intersection of science and spirituality or discover the importance of inclusive design and how designing objects with rather than for can be beneficial for all.

“becoming supernatural: how common people are doing the uncommon”

by Dr. Joe Dispenza

I am a big fan of Dr. Joe Dispenza. He inspires me with his teachings on meditation, personal transformation and neuroscience. The book Becoming Supernatural serves as a practical guide for anyone seeking to transcend their current limitations and manifest a reality that aligns more closely with their deepest aspirations. It’s a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of science and spirituality, offering a pathway to personal evolution and the realization of the human potential in its fullest sense.

“mismatch: how inclusion shapes design”

by Kat Holmes

Mismatch is an insightful guide on inclusive design, and creating products & environments that accommodate the full spectrum of human diversity. Holmes argues that many design processes overlook the needs of those with accessibilities, leading to “mismatched” interactions where products fail to serve everyone. Overall, this book serves as a call to action for designers and business leaders to prioritize inclusivity, ensuring products and environments work better for everyone.

EATING

Summer is the season to indulge in charcuterie boards and sweet treats!

ERIN’S PICK

Trader Joe
Sweet Picante Peppers with Cream Cheese Filling

The perfect decadent snack or quick side to any meal! Eat it on its own or use it for your next charcuterie board. 

MEGHAN’S PICK

delice et chocolat
Fraiser (Strawberry shortcake)

This bakery and cafe is right outside of Philadelphia on the mainline and is perfect for a cute date or treat yourself day. I love all things strawberry and this dessert is fresh, sweet and perfect for summer! 

PURCHASING

Whether it is a new supplement hitting the shelves, the latest health trend or an innovative skincare product – we are eager to give it a try and report back. 

D22 TONIC SUSTAINABLE SKINCARE CLEAN BEAUTY DANUCERA

malgosia’S PICK

danucera
d22 Tonic

I highly recommend D22 Tonic for every skin type. Throughout my experience as an esthetician and consumer of beauty products, I’ve found that D22 is a wonderful and unique exfoliating toner that helps reduce redness and dryness in sensitive skin. For anyone who’s looking for a glowing skin and lifting effect this product will work wonders. This is a constant repurchase for me.

ali’S PICK

MEDICAL BEAUTY RESEARCH
NIGHT OIL

MBR night oil, a beautiful glow enhancing oil to compliment the rest of my night time routine. My skin is soft, plumped and super hydrated.

VICTORIA’S PICK

Cowboy Colostrum Vanilla

I have been wanting to try colostrum for a long time. I’ve been impressed by this brand’s standards and ingredients, and the vanilla flavor pairs well with my daily matcha. 

OBSESSING

Nurture your skin from within and without with our latest obsessions.

malgosia’S PICK

BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE
serum progeskin

This serum is all around amazing. It contains unique ingredients that help rejuvenate your skin  cells and hydrate them, which aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your skin, as well as leaving it plump and refreshed. During my nightly routine, I love how my skin feels after applying Progeskin and Mega Serum.

RECOMMENDING

During the summer, it is important to give our skin some extra TLC! Our skin can become easily inflamed with the heat, the chlorine and the loads of SPF (we should be applying and reapplying). This is what we are recommending to combat the inflammation.

Dr Dennis Gross Skincare LED DRX spectralite faceware pro face mask

SHAY’S PICK

DR. DENNIS GROSS
DRX SPECTRALITE FACEWARE PRO

My current skin must-have is the Dr Dennis Gross LED face mask! Now that we are approaching summer, I like to spend a little extra time with blue light to zap that bacteria and calm my skin down. 

ali’S PICK

Consistency is key!

It’s summer time and the sun is sunning, apply and reapply spf! Double cleanse at night! Mask at least twice a week, talk and feel your skin and give the right nutrients it needs. Consistency is key.

to-do list

Embrace summer by incorporating fun local activities into your to-do list, offering a refreshing break from daily tasks or simply introduce a new daily ritual.

danuta’S PICK

morning habits: lemon-infused water

My day begins with a warm glass of water infused with lemon and ginger. This simple ritual aids digestion and detoxification. Occasionally, I add schisandra berries, which offer additional health benefits. Starting the day with a warm drink sets a positive tone and prepares my body for the day ahead.

bella’S PICK

FDR Park Southeast Asian Food Market

If you’re in Philadelphia during the summer and want to escape the hustle and bustle of Center City, head over to FDR Park in South Philly. Every weekend during the summer, FDR Park hosts a Southeast Asian Food Market featuring over 70 amazing small businesses offering a variety of Southeast Asian cuisines. With food options ranging from Laos to Vietnam to Cambodia, you’re sure to find plenty of dishes to feast on!
